THE STORY:

Mozilla Firefox just launched an AMAZING holiday campaign and is donating $25k to the charity that raises the most money and I want to win that money for F Cancer!

What is F Cancer you may ask? Why am I swearing? Well...for good reason.

With the exponential growth in technology and education, F Cancer has set out to educate everyone to recognize crucial early warning signs of cancer and inspire them turn around and spread the word to loved ones who may be at risk.

So many important charities are focused on finding a cure, when over 90% of all cancers are curable if detected in stage one - Crazy right? If it was any other disease, we'd say that a cure has been found. It's definitely important that we continue research, but right now, early detection is the best cure we have for cancer. And yet, not everyone knows that.

We can save lives just by showing people how to detect early signs of cancer.

Let's put an end to late stage cancer diagnosis. Here's how you can help...

Donate, Join my team, and help me raise money and win $25k for this important cause.

Get the word out about early detection. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell anyone that's willing to listen.

Early detection is key and the only cure that we have. Join my team and help win $25,000 for F Cancer this holiday season.

xoxo

Sophia,
Although I am forever a fan of One Tree Hill and of yours, I understand that you must receive a ridiculous amount of fan mail every month and therefore the purpose of my letter is not to give excess kudos for talents that exceed beyond the scope of my writing ability. As a talented, beautiful young woman you have empowered others to take action against injustices throughout the world through your humanitarian pursuits. In addition to the thousands of people who are persuaded to give back in their own community and across the globe and those who actually receive the assistance through various non-profit programs you support, I owe you my gratitude.
Through addressing your fans and empowering them to believe that their voice matters, that there is something that they can do to make the world a better place, you inspire so many people. Currently, I am beginning the application process to get my Masters Degree in Communications and Public Assistance with the hope of one day within the next five years of opening a non-profit that addresses the needs of single parents. Its a deadline I’ve set for myself-one that I intend to meet or exceed. Where the journey takes me and where the non-profit will be located, I have no idea. But I know that its important, and I know that it is necessary. We need a program that will empower single parents with resources to better their lives, and thus the lives of their children across various states (and hopefully, eventually, across the country).
I was raised by a single mom who is the strongest woman I have ever come across. She is a fierce combination of caffeine and compassing and excels in situations under pressure. Her unwavering love always reinforced the idea that I could do whatever I set my mind to and she has made countless sacrifices to make sure I succeed.
So as I struggle with formulating business plans, I remind myself of the work that you do. I remind myself that there are organizations that do not have commercials, or billboards, or millions of followers on Twitter. But they have people who care, people who empower others, people with a voice. So thank you for bringing attention to charities that may otherwise go unnoticed. And I wish you the best of luck in your professional endeavors as you embark on your new television series. I know it will be a hit!
